"Green Grass And High Tides"
Green grass and high tides forever.
Castles of stone souls and glory.
Lost faces say we adore you.
As tears goes by the windows for you.
Green grass and high tides forever.
Castles of stone souls and glory.
Lost faces say we adore you.
As kings and queens bow and play for you.
Green grass and high times forever
Green grass and high tides forever
MySpacers say we adore you.
Lost faces say we adore you
Outlaws',
"Green Grass and High Tides"
As ugly people played just for me
Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone slowly boring
Hot springs that say we adore you
As kings and queens bowin' before you.
These lovely people played just for me
Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone souls and glory
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you.
Green Grass and High tides forever,
Castles of staunch southern glory
Horse racers say we adore you,
with kings and queens bowin' before you
Green Grass and High tides forever,
Castles of stone souls and glory.
Lost faces say we adore you
as kings and queens bow and play for you.
Outlaws',
"Green Grass and High Tides"
Green Grass and High tides forever,
Castles of stone soarin' glory
Lost lakes who say we adore you,
As kings and queens bow and play for you.
Green Grass and High tides forever,
Castles of stone souls and glory.
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you.
Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone soar in glory
Lost races sadly adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you.
Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone souls and glory
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you.
green grass and high clouds forever
Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone souls and glory
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you.
So, what was then original intent? Green Grass and High Clouds would seem to make sense if you were inland. The Tides would seem more applicable on the coast, only as they may apply to fishing or sailing.
